are those pictures before or after you changed it back to standard?

before! it was like that when i brought it! it is now standard looking, std rear bar, s2 spoiler, type m skirts and a r33 gtr front bar! couldn't fit the fmic in the standard bar so i got a gtr copy!

thanks luke, you can vote more than once to if your feeling generous ;)

Thanks heaps to people that gave chucked a vote up.

Link on this post too just so this page has it also :glare:

hehe if i win ill buy everyone a drink :D

Was reading up on WRC.com, and came accross this little extract:

FIA rules say that WRC cars must be based on a standard road car bodyshell. For WRC use it is stripped to the bare metal and the spot-welds that hold it together are replaced by seam welding. All unnecessary brackets and mounting plates are removed to save weight, and a tubular steel roll-cage is welded in. After around 700 hours of work it emerges vastly stronger and stiffer than before. Most WRC cars could support the weight of ten road cars. The FIA requires all WRC engines to have a 34mm restrictor in the air intake, which holds down power output to around 300bhp. The cylinder block and head(s) must be based on those in the standard road car, but the crankshaft, con-rods, pistons, cylinder linings, valves and camshafts can be modified. Typical turbo boost is 4-5 bar - compared with up to 1 bar for an average road car - while anti-lag systems mean the turbocharger delivers maximum boost from tick-over. The result is massive torque - up to around 700Nm - about the same as a Ferrari Enzo.

All I can say is holy poop! 5bar = 70psi!!! Love to see an RB25 hold that LOL

^yeah, thats true. Amazing that the intake restrictor (34mm) restricts them right down to 300HP - would love to see what they could get without the restrictor in place. With those sort of pressures would surely have to be 600HP+?

BTW I just hooked up my new Samsung 22" widescreen SyncMaster 2243 monitor for the PC :D Time to watch some movies :O

I have 22" LCD screens at work and hate this small 17" at home ... so I went out and bought an LCD better than the one I have in my office. :D

:D

    • That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.
    • They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!
    • I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.
    • Define "starting to fail". Wy not just rebuild them?
    • Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
